Loving the new wheels mate! If u don't mind me asking what are they called?

Vr subframe I mean! :S
-
Ok well to start you really don't need to change ur wings, bonnet etc the only thing tht rubs on the underside of the bonnet is the plastic lead runners... You will probably need a be subframe ( highly advised) and the engine will fit straight in there! As for the wiring I didn't do it and never will ( it really is the harder part of the conversion! Remember also u need to change hubs etc aswell. Like u said mate a lot of people are going to say don't bother but I would do it all again because as far as I know I'm the only one with an early nugget obd2 vr! It's well worth it mate honest! Got any problems give me a pm. :)

Tom's Nugget Vr6! swap my inpros with headlights?
tombell999 replied to tombell999's topic in Members Gallery
Yer still have the origional early bonnet on and it still fits lovely under there with a vr subframe! Strange I no! Tempted to keep the 16v badge on the front to fool people! I'll get some pics of the bay tomo wen I get it back and give it a little clean etc..... Next bits to do will be the body work and then performace i guess! I just love the v6! I was origionally going to put a g60 engine in there but thought to myself nugget g60s come as standard so y not stick a vr in an early car just to be a bit cheeky! And like I said the cups did make it stand out but the black speedlines look mean. But I will NEVER strip back wheels manually again as long as I live! The laquer and paint was fine but the factory primer is the devils primer! :) -

Thanks for the comment mate! I know what you mean about the bump strips but every nugget still has them on so I thought why not be different!? Now I got the black sperdlines on there it looks a bit better! I'll get some more pictures on there Monday when I get it back! :) -
Here are some pics when i bought it for £230! you could probably see why! no exhaust bad body work on passengers side, head was stripped, poor wheels and DIRTY! my friends a lot needed to be done!Corrado conversion V2 (3).pdf1130953484a6932234956l.jpg[/attachment:m00t235b]Book1.pdf1130953484a6932234702l.jpg[/attachment:m00t235b]stromlaufplan_gamma4.pdf1130953484a6932165211l.jpg[/attachment:m00t235b] so i put my wheels on from my old corsa... but it didnt look to bad untill i had enough money to buy a new set! also rebuilt the head, powerflow full stainless straight through and gave the bodywork a go with my mate! :) o and not to forget a CLEAN!ETKA Corrado.pdf1130953484a6932187599l.jpg[/attachment:m00t235b] and this is it with the cups i bought....which i think really do suit it! i no a few disagree!stromlaufplan_gamma4.pdf027.JPG[/attachment:m00t235b]Corrado92.pdf031.JPG[/attachment:m00t235b] So anyway things were going ok with the car untill someone driving a cavalier went into the side of me! not happy! sorry no pics atm tho! and from there things went down hill! gearbox shattared meaning i needed a new gearbox clutch etc whcich cost enough..... and then when i was putting on the 50mm manifold and rocker cover one of the ht leads snapped and then one of the chambers wasn't filling up with oil and made a huge tapping sound!.. tappets were fine etc. so i took it to my friendly local garage and they couldnt find what was wrong with it (even called in a specialist) and could tell me anything about it! So i thought fuck it! compension was coming soon so i thought why not stick a different engine in it! my mate bought a vr so i wanted a vr engine in mine! (always been a challenge betwwen us!) so months of waiting my car is pretty much done and im picking it up on monday!!!! yay!! but heres a few picks of it in the garage with engine etc...o and my speedlines (home sprayed) O and just a few random ones aswell...passat climatronic wiring diags.pdf003.JPG[/attachment:m00t235b]climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdf007.JPG[/attachment:m00t235b]climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdf007.JPG[/attachment:m00t235b]2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdf005.JPG[/attachment:m00t235b] 089.JPG[/attachment:m00t235b] ok i cant upload anymore photos?.........there is more to come guys!

Killed my car going through water.. help! ** FIXED **
tombell999 replied to Jim's topic in Engine Bay
I would say that it's probably the fuel pump! There are 2 fuel pumps one internal and one external which should be on drivers side near the back wheel. I would check tht if I was you as I think it had a sensor on it. -
See my friend, that is the way forward with subtle mods!
-
If you go for the simple spring option it will be under £100 but if you go the adjustable route ur looking at a lot more! But lights are a definate must! With that colour rado I'd suggest all red rears! As the standard ones are pretty minting which I'm sure a lot of people will agree! There's a few cars on here withbump strips off so check them out if not google it!
-
I would suggest getting it lowered. Thts one of the most effective semi cheap mods u can do! Plus wen a vr is lowered on speedlines it looks pretty wicked! Also maybe take the bumper strips off the side and nice rear lights! Bobs ur uncle tidy, subtle modded vr!
-
Sorry vr6 but it didn't really answer my question :( anyone got any advice?
-
As a lot of u probably know I'm doing a vr conversion..... Will I need a vr exhaust or will I be ok with my 1.8 16v one? I don't know the bore size etc... Will I loose a lot of power if stay with the 1 I got now?

Try and link the website I'm intreueged! (can't spell it) :) well it's funny I spoke to my mate the other nite and said he's getting a proffesional electric 1 installed for £500 or summit and he reckons it's gonna add 50bhp I mean come on either he is seriously Lyin or the company is! I'll try find more about the website and give them a ring and see who's lying! Although he does have a calibra so maybe he was just tryin to prove something cuz he's scared of mine :) -
